It has started to annoy me that having countless films shot here we have never been able to play ourselves.
Calgary got to be Calgary in Cool Runnings, Montreal got to be Montreal in The Whole Nine Yards, Toronto got to be Toronto in Scott Pilgrim, all Vancouver has got is many references through cartoons and talk shows.
BC got a 30 second shout out in 2012, but that was it.
For example, the new final destination 5, would it really hurt them to simply have it take place in Vancouver and call it "The Lions Gate Bridge"?????? Especially after seeing in the trailer they have made no attempt at all to cover up the background.
Would having it take place in Vancouver really disenfranchise that many potential American customers????
